Moving Items Manually

Problem

You have a PivotTable and want to manually move its items instead of sorting them.

Solution

To manually move an item in the PivotTable’s rows or columns, right-click the item and use the Move options to reposition it. Depending on the item’s current position, you can generally move it up, down, or to the beginning or end of its group.

Discussion

This recipe is handy if you want to manually sort a PivotTable in a specific way. For example, you can use it to move a calculated item (see Recipe 11.23) to the top or bottom of its group.
